Does light travel faster through water or glass?

Physics
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The refractive index or n shows the relationship between c and the speed v when light travels through a material. The equation is n=c/v. In water, the refractive index is 1.3 and in glass, it is 1.5. Therefore, light travels faster through water, than it travels through glass.

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 49° w
dsp73

Answer:

a) n2=(n1sin1)(sin2)

b) 1.18

c) 201081632.7m/s

d) 254237288.1m/s

Explanation:

a) We can calculate the index of refraction of the second material by using the Snell's law:

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2

n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}

b) By replacing in the equation of a) we obtain:

n_2=\frac{(1,47)sin49\°}{sin69.5\°}=1.18

c) light velocity in the medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n_1}=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{1.47}=204081632.7\frac{m}{s}

d)

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{1.18}=254237288.1\frac{m}{s}

hope this helps!!

A ray of laser light travels through air and enters an unknown material. The laser enters the material at an angle of 36 degrees
V125BC [204]

Answer:1.27

Explanation:

Given

incident angle i=36^{\circ}

refracted angle r=27.5^{\circ}

Suppose n_2 is the refractive index of material then using Snell's law we  can write

n_1\sin i=n_2\sin r

where n_1=refractive index of air

1\times \sin (36)=n_2\times \sin (27.5)

n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}

n_2=1.27

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N
